I like how you brought up that the riders are very similar besides their motivations. I think we will eventually see a granute that is trying to change their ways, but Valen won't be able to distinguish the difference between bad and good granutes and then we will see the more typical difference in ideals, but for now I like the subtle relationship between the two.
What baffled me the most was that they didnt pull off the Bloodstark reveal from Build where Hantos father figure was the dog granute this whole time or something, because the way the man's actions definitely come off as creepy, controlling and manipulative at first glance. But boy am I glad they took this fresh route instead, where we get to see the events of a happy guy getting broken really early into the series instead of later half.
@@ChristianAntwan Doesn't help that I just saw the newest episode (as of the time this comment is made) of the show so far...my god, not only do they have similar tragic backstories, both being modified hybrids (becoming one in Hanto's case), and are both on the side of humans, but I feel like have just proven themselves to be idiotic disasters sharing the same brain cell and neither really have a good naming sense. It's hilarious. XD ...And doesn't help immediately after that episode, so many people on Tumblr already ship these two. XD
There is the thing that Hanto is dangerous near becoming the same monster he hate. Because there is key a piece of information he miss that could lead him to commit a terrible mistake. Hanto is not aware that the monsters he is fighting are part of a criminal organization, what if he meets Granute's civillain(who lack the disguise ability) and curiously the first ones we see are a mother and his kid buying normal granute's sweet. This likely gonna be the key conflict between Shoma and Hanto to gonna be the first trying to make him accept this fact, and Dente is a key point on this he is the responsible that the Stomach family acquire as dangerous technology.
I really wonder why people really want or expect these two to have a sort of conflict. Latest episode is pretty clear that they're not gonna be rivals, he will not kill a civilian Granute because if he does, then why would he defend Gavv/Shoma from those that call him a monster?

There is a deep opposition between Shoma and Hanti backstory. Shoma, has the change to live with his mother a long time but at the cost of their freedom and suffering for the choices of his father, he was powerless and don't have a real choice up to the events of the start of the series, but this lack of choice make him understand the choices other people have. Hanto has his mother taken away but has the chance of choice and live a good life until now, thanks to his mentor and free environment, but this make that when Soji was killed he blame himself, he can't deal with the impotence and take extreme measures to deal with that pain and self guilt, make him prone to manipulation (thing not apply to Shoma at be confronted with part of his father truth he doesn't buy it but realized that he is acting the same way, and self improve instead of drown in the guilt). There is other opposition in capabilities Hanto is weaker not have the potential of Shoma, as his are a derivate, a knock off of his, but it's relentless he is determined to end them.
Hanto is slowly working up to be my favorite Reiwa secondary. If this is the path their going to take him, he might overtake Keiwa, but it's only the first quarter so we have to wait and see.
If Hanto suffers casualties cause of his new found half granute genes, he might have to meet shoma's great great uncle for help if suga really does turn out to be a granute working for the Stomach Family
Valen is already the best secondary in Reiwa, imo. Dude has good backstory, has insane will, and can switch from a funny guy into a serious avenger, vice versa.
@@miyako1909 Vulcan is good but hes really carried hard by his own actor, as a character he doesnt even *exist* anymore by the halfway mark when his own story gets retconned for no reason, hes the opposite Tycoon, whos also a good character, but lacks depth where it matters and they rushed over it too hard, esp in the final arc of Geats, they both arent *that* amazing as secondaries imo and i dont know why they have such mass followings as they do
Honestly I would say Fuwa is more complex than just "hate X" specially because he is quite rational about it and only lose control when confronted to horobi. But then he becomes someone that overshadows the main guy when Aruto was flanderized and "the dreams guy".
Yes you are right, Hanto was not supposed to be dragged into this. He is caught up because the Stomach family just wants money and the second older brother needs to make everything worse for his nonsense.
@@rayhayes7701 the opening credits.. The one who helped Hanto switched into dark sweets and older brother. He used Hanto to gain position on stomach family except the writer changed it.
To be honest Keiwa would be an perfectly acceptable protagonist or secondary rider if the main rider was michinaga. But the story was about Ace. And well Ace sure looks cool, too bad it's at the expense of everything else.
@@MrRobot-0 Its unfortunate cause Ace as a character he *is* amazing, but it ruins all suspense of anything and everything, the final arc he is quite literally overstaying his welcome and forced where he shouldnt be, thats one of geats greatest flaws, the main cast are all lacking in critical areas more than people are willing to admit, the best one literally being nago, everyones least favorite, she kinda did everything 99% right besides certain few things that dont contradict her character or story
@@MrRobot-0 tbh I wish they had made keiwa a villain. I feel like it would’ve been great if this arc was the catalyst of the fact that he had been treated like shit for the entire show And his only moral compass was his sister. thus when bujin sword it should have been a near unstoppable force as it was supposed to represent all of keiwa’s rage (and they might have made him the world ender for this world) thus,the only way they stop him is to bring him sister back to confront her and everyone will have heartfelt moment to keiwa by basically saying sorry and they should treat him as something more. Then that’s why regard was actually need because there original plan to destroy this world falled
@@MonsterZeroLITE To be fair Ace could have worked if they focused on his reluctance to let people aproach him due his age and how even if his tricks did help people it did made everyone hate him and he eventually get fucked over by it until he learn the lesson and earn the trust to become Fox jesus.

And the story basically become a track to hirakoshi's worst vices, specially "the main rider is always right because we said so" syndrome. I get that Ace is partially made as a reaction to Ikki being such a stick in the mud but they really did not things trough on making him good at everything.
@@anso3886 Honestly this could work very well for keiwa but would need a major rewirte on the show larger plot. Would be even better if Michinaga was a protagonist and Ace would have a Hiromi like role of a big good. But that would be very different from the orthox rider structure.
For the entirety of Reiwa, Hanto/Valen is imo, the best secondary. He compliments Shouma greatly, and these two have a synergy that would make some previous rider bros envy.
Honestly in a lot of ways Valen is Vulcan done right. You get invested into the grief, personal lost, and drive that Valen has against the Granute. Whereas by time it’s revealed not only Fuwa was an unwilling pawn of Zaia; but even after finding out his entire life was a lie they still made it about Yaiba.
With how good Gavy is right now, I'm really convinced that Gotchard is the Ghost of Reiwa. Got stuck between two good shows and it really shows its flaws in comparison. I don't like the main Rider's suits(Geats) which was just black and add-ons but everything else killed it very well, meanwhile Gotchard has good suits for me but story just toned flat. And Gavy here making me nostalgic when Ex-Aid and Build released. It's really jarring how Gavy makes me really anticipate the next episode than Gotchard where there, it made me just say "Ill Wait for the Plot Twist".
Hant is the perfect reflection of early kamen riders today. After the tragic events and losses he experienced, he had to overcome a painful surgery process in order to avenge all these. However, Hant's process of becoming a Kamen Rider from a journalist and his trust in Shouma (i.e. his Kamen Rider self) was handled very well. Of course, what happens to Hant afterwards is a matter of curiosity because Jyou (Boon Black) was also a character who had a very good introduction arc but in the second arc, he was only there because he was a ranger.
Honestly, if you waited for the next episode cause the conversation Valen has with Gavv at the beginning of that, shows the dynamic between the two perfectly, in how they both contrast but also how similiar they are. It's also funny as well how they try to act all serious and stoic but it shows they both are just dorks who try to act tough. Which imo makes Valen the most refreshing secondary we got, cause instead of making him a serious stoic character, or just an every day guy, he's actually in a middle.
I really like Valen. The beginning of this week episode is so funny 😂 Not really a spoiler... Continuing the end of the last episode, where i found it weird why are they not interacting after Valen's battle when they are clearly there at the same place? Turns out it continue to the beginning of this episode just for a minute. I love the concept of this episode & how they packaged it very well
the recent 2 raider that stuck in my head for that series is XZ Dragon and Vulcan. after that, Saber, Revice, Geats..... Buffa is Iconic but didnt really took my attention, Gochard. their 2nd raider feels sucks man.
Very decent debut with somewhat of a stake after that implant will come back bite him and not forget glasses bro got his mentor legs to use against him.
Theory: honto’s mom is shomas’s mom since honto’s mom was kidnapped and shomas dad wanted to “get busy” with her and if this is true than honto and shoma were related
Idk how I completely missed all these obvious parallels. Thanks for pointing them out 😂 Also, what do you mean "the monster he thinks killed his mentor." Why does it seem less obvious it's the mushroom granute's fault now...
Hanto had me cheering. This dude really has me curious. Also love that you got Grand Liner/Supertrain. One of my favs. Also, did you literally say emotionally "Digest"!?😂😂😅😅
I feel like the fandom has been so deep in this secondary and main rider dynamics being parallels and reflective of one another that they almost always expect or want the two riders to have a conflict at some point. If you ask me, I'm tired of it. The latest episode is a parody of this dynamics that they're not really gonna be rivals they're just trying to be cool because they want to keep their identities a secret. Hanto is not representative of hatred nor is his reasoning any different from Shouma. Because get this if he really hates granutes so much? Why would he call Gavv a hero when he knows Gavv is basically the same as those creatures?
@@Topgunnder IXA wasnt going through anything besides himself, and it was pretty lackluster compared to most if not all other secondaries, the whole thing about his dad literally doesnt matter what so episode, they just drop and forget about it insantly
Still in episode 4 so pretty much spoilers for me. But I have been seeing bits of this series here and there. Gotta say wasn't really impressed with this series when I watched episode one. Pretty "child friendly" but after an episode or two it's grown on me. I think what's differs here is that there's no team in this episode. Everyone's just on their own. Pretty parallel then previous rider series. But the opening might say otherwise. Still this might be another good story if the progression is where I think it'll be. I just really don't like the aesthetics of this series being too "kid-friendly". But that's just me 😂
someone should check out Gaim and Ex aid, since those 2 with gavv are peak "childish designs with dark/gritty stories underneath" and are considered some of the best in franchise, not to rub in or toot horn but some of the weakest in franchise are Ghost and recently Gotchard, thats designs are nothing but beloved, too bad the shows writings, stories, etc do not back that up at all and at times become dreadfully boring and tedious, gavv is the most showa-esc season in ages since build and id take it over these past 5 years has done
@@MonsterZeroLITE I find Gaim to be balanced. Not silly but the suits work well with the storyline. Geats and Build two Rider shows with strong storyline and suits that also aren't too kid friendly but works overall. Especially Build. I haven't watched pre-Decade ones but I remember bits and bobs from my childhood and pretty sure story wise isn't as deep. But so far, Gavv does seem to be the next deep story.
@@joelconolly5574 Gaim is funny cause nowadays the suits are praised, but back then they were hated and fans had endless concern cause of how new it is (even tho Fourze proved otherwise, and more technically, Hibiki started it in Heisei Part 1)
Also note that Granute that ate Hanto mom is A dog like granute, and Valen is choco based which are poisounous to canine and dog alike so the form also note to his hatred towards the gtanute that take her mom
Oooh damn I can't believe i didnt think of that.

Already one of the best secondaries in years, We have another Vulcan/Cross-Z Dragon/Gatack on our hands this season and its gonna be peak

@@miyako1909 not what i was saying/meant (Brave and Mach are my fav secondaries in the franchise)
Vulcan, Gatack, and Cross-Z Dragon stand out as some of the most impactful secondaries in the franchise, due to how quite literally "Hard-Hitting" they are as characters and their elements to their respective stories, absolutely nobody hates them in the community and it shows why, they are the definition of Aura, and Vulcan was the last one we got of this (and, id also argue last great secondary period was Blades, whos my favorite from Reiwa, but hes not a hard hitter like the others as a character)
Valen already incorporates so much of Raw energy like the main 3 and it shows, thats basically what i meant
Valen is already one of my favorite riders.
Same, I hope he stays this good!
and the Valen's actor can cry. he cries look very real and emotional, which is rare in the late seasons
That Suga man is giving all the undercover granute vibes and I'm here for it
I can't believe that I didn't notice what they were doing with that. You're right. It's so clear he's probably a Granute.
I like how you brought up that the riders are very similar besides their motivations. I think we will eventually see a granute that is trying to change their ways, but Valen won't be able to distinguish the difference between bad and good granutes and then we will see the more typical difference in ideals, but for now I like the subtle relationship between the two.
so just like amazon reboot
What if Valen tries to kill Dente?
Maybe a Granute tertiary rider, that's trying to change his ways?
What baffled me the most was that they didnt pull off the Bloodstark reveal from Build where Hantos father figure was the dog granute this whole time or something, because the way the man's actions definitely come off as creepy, controlling and manipulative at first glance. But boy am I glad they took this fresh route instead, where we get to see the events of a happy guy getting broken really early into the series instead of later half.
We can definitely still see that happen. That would be a kinda cool twist if he ends up being the dog the whole time lol.
Gavv is so peak man if it falls off in the later parts I will me inconsolable

Hopefully the complaints from the Japanese parents isn't enough to ruin the quality in the 30s and onwards.

Theory: honto’s mom is shomas’s mom since honto’s mom was kidnapped and shomas dad wanted to “get busy” with her and if this is true than honto and shoma were related
Just 2 episodes, Gavv make me fallen after such a long time. The feeling i lost since Ryuuki.
Idk how I completely missed all these obvious parallels. Thanks for pointing them out 😂
Also, what do you mean "the monster he thinks killed his mentor." Why does it seem less obvious it's the mushroom granute's fault now...
Insanely bakuage
and valen can be end up like baron but instead instant transform from eating hell fruit, valen gonna transform step by step
Hanto had me cheering. This dude really has me curious. Also love that you got Grand Liner/Supertrain. One of my favs. Also, did you literally say emotionally "Digest"!?😂😂😅😅
Only Japan can make a hero who is candy themed depressing as fuck
Valen is derived from Valentine, i guess ?
Val-Lin not vail-Lin
Like valentines day
Oh my god, I'm so dumb
I feel like the fandom has been so deep in this secondary and main rider dynamics being parallels and reflective of one another that they almost always expect or want the two riders to have a conflict at some point.
If you ask me, I'm tired of it. The latest episode is a parody of this dynamics that they're not really gonna be rivals they're just trying to be cool because they want to keep their identities a secret.
Hanto is not representative of hatred nor is his reasoning any different from Shouma. Because get this if he really hates granutes so much? Why would he call Gavv a hero when he knows Gavv is basically the same as those creatures?
Still a better love square than miraculous
I think you should watch kamen rider Gaim then check it out Baron.
Love Gaim. It's actually my favorite series!
Valen and Gavv is basically the smarter Cross-Z and braindead Build.
Shouma and Hanto share two same braincells😭

Every 2nd Rider is Tragic.
Not really. G3, Ibuki, Ixa and Beast definitely had it better than the others.
IXA lol@@YarugumaSou
@@Topgunnder IXA wasnt going through anything besides himself, and it was pretty lackluster compared to most if not all other secondaries, the whole thing about his dad literally doesnt matter what so episode, they just drop and forget about it insantly
Uhuh, Majade...
@@danielgeronimo5538 poor majade indeed, tragedy from the writers
Still in episode 4 so pretty much spoilers for me. But I have been seeing bits of this series here and there. Gotta say wasn't really impressed with this series when I watched episode one. Pretty "child friendly" but after an episode or two it's grown on me. I think what's differs here is that there's no team in this episode. Everyone's just on their own. Pretty parallel then previous rider series. But the opening might say otherwise.
Still this might be another good story if the progression is where I think it'll be. I just really don't like the aesthetics of this series being too "kid-friendly". But that's just me 😂
someone should check out Gaim and Ex aid, since those 2 with gavv are peak "childish designs with dark/gritty stories underneath" and are considered some of the best in franchise, not to rub in or toot horn but some of the weakest in franchise are Ghost and recently Gotchard, thats designs are nothing but beloved, too bad the shows writings, stories, etc do not back that up at all and at times become dreadfully boring and tedious, gavv is the most showa-esc season in ages since build and id take it over these past 5 years has done
The silliest kamen rider designs always have the darkest shows, it's weird.
@@MonsterZeroLITE I find Gaim to be balanced. Not silly but the suits work well with the storyline. Geats and Build two Rider shows with strong storyline and suits that also aren't too kid friendly but works overall. Especially Build. I haven't watched pre-Decade ones but I remember bits and bobs from my childhood and pretty sure story wise isn't as deep. But so far, Gavv does seem to be the next deep story.
@@ChristianAntwan explains Japanese culture in general. Light hearted culture with deep, dark stories. Not just the war.
@@joelconolly5574 Gaim is funny cause nowadays the suits are praised, but back then they were hated and fans had endless concern cause of how new it is (even tho Fourze proved otherwise, and more technically, Hibiki started it in Heisei Part 1)
I thought buffa was the secondary rider
Cause I was expecting a womanizer from "Valen(time)" I now feel very bad for judging his character before the series started
The only way valen would be an even more perfect secondary is if his suit was blue
That is like the default secondary color, huh?
I love ❤️ gavv and valen
They rock!
